A piston pump having a barrel of effective volume 100 cm^3 is used to exhaust a vessel of volume 2.5x10^3 cm. If the initial pressure of the air in the vessel is 1 atm, estimate the reduction in pressure produced by two strokes of the pump, assuming that all processes are reversible and isothermal and that air behaves as an ideal gas. Further, estimate the number of strokes needed to reduce the pressure in the vessel from 1 atm to 0.02 atm.

Consider 5.000 mol of neon in a 208.7 cm^3 piston at 120.0 K. If the gas undergoes isometric cooling to one-half of its initial temperature and then undergoes isothermal reversible expansion to four times of its initial volume, (a) compute the work done assuming the gas behaves ideally. Next, (b) compute the work done for the entire process assuming the gas behaves as a van der Waal's gas (a = 0.2050 atmL^2/mol^2, b = 1.670 x 10^-2 L/mol). (c) Compare...

Please solve the following problems. You must show all work. 1. A 10.0 cm radius piston compresses a gas isothermally from a height of 15.0 cm to 2.50 cm at a constant pressure of 2.0 atm. a) How much heat was added to the gas? b) Now if 7000 J of heat is added to the system and the piston is only moves 5.0 cm up, what is the change in the internal energy of the system is the pressure...

1) A nozzle is a device for increasing the velocity of a steadily flowing stream of fluid. At the inlet to a certain nozzle the enthalpy of the fluid is 3025 kJ/kg and the velocity is 60 m/s. At the exit from the nozzle the enthalpy is 2790 kJ/kg. The nozzle is horizontal and there is negligible heat loss from it. (i) Find the velocity at the nozzle exit. (ii) If the inlet area is 0.1 m2 and specific volume...
